Our farm

The "LGM"

It's called the Leafy Green Machine™ and it brings sustainability and transparency to the food system. The use of hydroponics allows the farms to use 90% less water than traditional farming methods. Additionally, by bringing food production to the end consumer, the impact of food transportation is drastically reduced.The crops grown in the Leafy Green Machine™ are consistent in quality and freshness. The container's closed environment keeps unwanted organisms out, eliminating the need for any herbicides or pesticides. Protection from the outside environment means that 94% of crops are of marketable quality. Most importantly, hydroponic plants are crisp, flavorful, and available year round.Very Local Greens is the first LGM owners east of Toronto. We are part of a global community of "freight farmers" that are all over the world.
